"Lecornu said the French government had asked Israel for explanations of BlackCore's actions, and also for help in trying to find out who may have been behind the smear campaign."
This is a very well executed bit of diplomacy.

- pera 4mo agoHere in Scotland it seems the desinfo campaign targeted mostly the SNP and Swinney. I guess it's hard to know how effective it was but his party lost 6 seats in last month's elections. https://www.heraldscotland.com/news/26188090.john-swinney-target-israeli-firm-blackcore-disinformation-campaign/ https://www.heraldscotland.com/news/26188090.john-swinney-ta...
- thefz 4mo agoAt least the French demonstrated they hold other governments accountable. Israel is shrugging off the killing of some 70k civilians, for sure they will shrug off this one too, to no one's surprise (including the French government).
- brenschluss 4mo agoWell of course, that’s the point - it gives the French government the cover to investigate while sending Israel a soft warning. “Israel, thank you for your cooperation, my gosh, we’re really going to get to the bottom of this” = ‘We know what you’re doing, fuck off’
